This is not for someone who doesn’t LOVE their shimmer. It’s kind of like a really shimmered/frosted nude. There’s so much shimmer in this that it ends up looking almost opaque on the lips. I like it overall, and I think the effect looks nicer from afar; I’d recommend layering a gloss on top (maybe a red or plum) that’s more of a cream finish. Though it can be worn alone, it also works well as a layering product.

Because of the high level of frost, it is a bit drying compared to other shades I’ve tried within this range. It also wears away a little unevenly, but it does apply evenly from the get-go, which isn’t always true for extreme frost finishes. Mine has no detectable scent, though I know sometimes NYX’s lipsticks seem to be scented with something, but this has been waiting to be tested/reviewed for several months so it may have lost its scent over time (I find that more budget-friendly brands lose their fragrance much faster than higher-end brands). Fortune Cookie wore for about three hours.

I see what you mean about it needing a gloss over it, but it looks good on you. Pity that it doesn’t have a creamy counterpart. I wonder if a liner would pop the color any and/or help with the hang time.

Oh wow, this is a really fun color! I don’t know if I could work up the nerve to rock it, but I want to play with it. I could see this being really stunning with a dark smoky eye, and maybe blended with a bit of lip balm to tone it down a notch…

Oooh, this reminds me a lot of a Maybelline Color Sensational the Pearls shade that I have, but I can’t remember which. Maybe Sugared Almond?

There is such a fine line between frost and shimmer for me in lipsticks, I love shimmers, but if it gets too frosty, it tends to make me feel washed out. Doesn’t matter what the shade, if it’s a full-on frost, it’s odd.
